Re: [Esug-list] Innovation Technology Awards submissions

by Johan Fabry

OK I found it now, it’s in the details of my registration where I can add a submission. Sorry to be annoying about it, but this is absolutely not clear at all. There are no instructions on http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2015/Innovation-Technology-Awards and on the home page http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2015 there is a dead link to 'Technology Award Submissions <http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2015?_s=Z0_5vYGm977f4R9e&_k=nRNfI…>’. So there was no way for me to know that I had to submit in my registration info, and I was waiting for instructions to appear in one of those two pages. > On Jun 25, 2015, at 17:09, Luc Fabresse <luc.fabresse(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Johan, > > I've just tested and it seems to work to me. > The UI may be misleading.

SPLASH is now accepting submissions. We invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished work. Most of the following tracks have submissions due: 30 JUNE ** Demos ** The SPLASH Demonstrations track is an excellent vehicle for sharing your latest work with an experienced and technically savvy audience. Live demonstrations show the impact of software innovation. Demonstrations are not product sales pitches, but rather an opportunity to highlight, explain, and present interesting technical aspects of running applications in a dynamic and highly interactive setting. Presenters are encouraged to actively solicit feedback from the audience, which should lead to very interesting and entertaining demonstration sessions. Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-demos ** Doctoral Symposium ** The SPLASH Doctoral Symposium provides students with useful guidance for completing their dissertation research and beginning their research careers. The Symposium will provide an interactive forum for doctoral students who have progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal, but will not be defending their dissertation in the next 12 months. Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-ds ** Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) ** The 11th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at SPLASH 2015 is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and research on dynamic languages, their implementation, and applications. The influence of dynamic languages – from Lisp to Smalltalk to Python to Javascript – on real-world practice and research continues to grow. Submissions Due: 15 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/dls2015-papers ** OOPSLA Artifacts ** The Artifact Evaluation process is a service provided by the community to help authors of accepted papers provide more substantial supplements to their papers so future researchers can more effectively build on and compare with previous work. The Artifact Evaluation Committee has been formed to assess how well paper authors prepare artifacts in support of such future researchers. Roughly, authors of papers who wish to participate are invited to submit an artifact that supports the conclusions of the paper. Submissions Due: 9 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-artifacts ** Posters ** The SPLASH Poster track provides an excellent forum for authors to present their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and receive feedback from the community. We invite submissions covering any aspect of programming, systems, languages and applications. The goal of the poster session is to encourage and facilitate small groups of individuals interested in a technical area to gather and interact. It is held early in the conference, to promote continued discussion among interested parties. Posters can be independent presentations or associated with one of the other parts of SPLASH. Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-posters ** SPLASH-E ** The SPLASH-E track brings together researchers and educators to share educational results, ideas, and challenges centered in Software and Programming Languages. Submission formats vary, including papers, tool demos, lightning talks, challenge-topics for discussion, and suggested themes for "unconference" sessions. Help us create an engaging forum for educational issues related to SPLASH! Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-splash-e ** Student Research Competition ** The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition (ACM SRC) is an internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate students to experience the research world, share their research results with other students and SPLASH attendees. The competition has separate categories for undergraduate and graduate students and awards prizes to the top three students in each category.
